Don't get me started, Dr. Cordell. I've been trying to buy a server since September 15th. (Finally went through campus purchasing -- after having to start over completely 3 different times -- and now the vendor doesn't want to honor the quote...)

It was fun watching Miami have their field goal attempts pushed right, just like the poor kid on GameDay. (For clarity, not fun that the kid missed -- my daughter and I cheer on the kicking contest every week!)

I remember when Blojobovich was ousted and the short time it took to replace his tollway signs. I'm thinking Nuremberg Stadium treatment for the ballroom.

The guy slumming in *our* White House has 34 felony convictions and isn't in prison. Nobody is going to enforce anything, unless Palpatine turns Hispanic overnight.

I was trying to print a black-and-white page. It said yellow ink was out. I explained that I didn't need yellow. Printer stood its ground. Yank. Up the stairs, out the front door, over my head, and I smiled for years every time I found a remnant in the yard. 😉🧡💙

So I'm smoking in the garage and thinking about our lazy-ass decision. Well... if the building power goes off the print server will go down. Psst -- guess what else won't have the power?? (Hint: the damn printers.) 😉

So my boss wanted to live migrate the xen VM from virt12 in our building, back to virt02 at the datacenter. Consensus argument was that building power isn't necessarily less reliable than the 4x-outage datacenter, right? 🤣 Still following? 2/
